The Arlon PCB CLTE Multilayer PCB is a high-performance, 12-layer circuit board designed specifically for next-generation phased array antenna systems and complex radar applications. Built using woven glass-reinforced PTFE ceramic composites, this board ensures exceptional structural integrity and electrical consistency across wide temperature fluctuations. It provides the low insertion loss and tight tolerance control required by RF engineers, product developers, and aerospace procurement managers for mission-critical microwave designs.
Key Features of Arlon CLTE Multilayer PCB
-
Optimised Dielectric Constant: Features a stable DK of 2.94 at 10 GHz, ensuring precise phase tracking and minimal signal distortion.
-
Advanced 12-Layer Stackup: High-density multilayer construction engineered to support complex routing and integrated shielding for phased array architectures.
-
Low Loss Tangent: Dissipation factor (DF) of 0.0025 reduces signal attenuation in high-frequency microwave applications.
-
Thermal and Dimensional Stability: Low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) prevents registration shifts during thermal cycling and assembly.
-
Reliable Plated Through-Holes: Excellent copper adhesion and mechanical strength for stable interconnects in harsh environments.
